Chapter 494

Chapter 494: Chapter 387: Aiwass Behind the Curtain Chapter 494: Chapter 387: Aiwass Behind the Curtain “Then, the Minister of Commerce just didn’t continue to respond and sat down...”

Isabel stood before Aiwass’s bed, wracking her brain like a student being questioned by the teacher.

She fidgeted uncomfortably with the hem of her clothes, as if she had returned to the time when she first started learning from Yanis.

“What else?”

Aiwass casually asked, “Do you think he was afraid?”

He was currently lying in a warm blanket, flipping through the meeting records.

He had stayed up all night to help Isabel with special training, and when Isabel went to preside over the Round Table meeting, he took the chance to catch up on some sleep.

Although he had slept for just four or five hours, it was barely enough.

“He must have been afraid.

I even felt that he was terrified.”

“Okay, I understand.”

The corners of Aiwass’s mouth lifted slightly as he noted on another notebook, “What about Mr.

...

Mycroft?”

“Minister Hermes said that a new batch of chamber staff should be introduced.

I think he made sense; the people recruited during my grandmother’s time should be replaced...”

Isabel responded with some uncertainty, “I just directly granted permission...

Is that okay?”

“That’s fine.

Your judgment is very accurate, and this matter indeed must be handled by him; he needs to keep a close watch.

Otherwise, many eyes might slip through—especially since you have been so aggressive.”@@@@

Aiwass casually mentioned, “By the way, once he is done with this task, his position can be elevated.

With his abilities, it’s a waste for him to only serve as Chamberlain...

Let him recommend another minister to replace himself, then give him the post of a minister with actual power.

Or he could also become an official.”

“Also, don’t stand there, Your Majesty...

you are looking quite pitiful...

Please take a seat.”

Under Aiwass’s half-amused persuasion, Isabel sat down right beside Aiwass’s bed.

And the silent Lily standing in the corner approached with a cup of tea.

Lily’s presence had become increasingly minimal, now standing motionless like a shadow, virtually undetectable—yet when needed, she would appear silently and hand over whatever was required.

The royal servants serving Isabel certainly were not as skilled as Lily.

This was the very reason why Isabel didn’t bring her personal servant when she came to see Aiwass.

The Queen simply doesn’t have the time or energy to quarrel with them every day.

At such times, the Knight Commander of the Round Table Hall, or the Grand Arbitrator, or the Grand Justice would enter the Round Table Hall carrying the Monarch’s Sword—that is, the short sword hanging on the wall of the Queen’s bedroom, the sister sword that resides within Hayna.

Once this sword arrives at the Round Table Hall, it is as if the Queen herself is present.

The current Knight Commander of the Round Table Hall is the Grand Guardian.

And the Grand Arbitrator is Meg, or rather Ligeia.

Both of them dislike meetings and though Ligeia sometimes attends as an observer, she says nothing.

When neither of them wishes to go, the Grand Justice must preside.

The discussions of the Round Table Hall are merely symbolic; all the bills discussed and voted on must be organized by the Counselors of the Privy Council, properly documented according to formal procedure, and with the meeting records and the recommendations annotated by the Privy Council, they are ultimately submitted to the Queen, who is then responsible for signing them to confirm or reject the bill.

——The biggest difference is that the Monarch has a veto power.

And it can be used often.

From this perspective, the Privy Council can also be seen as the Queen’s secretariat.

It’s similar to a cabinet.

If the Monarch is also considered a government official, then the Privy Council is the Monarch’s staff.

The position of Minister Camelot is equivalent to that of a Prime Minister, and the Deputy is akin to the Deputy Prime Minister.

Though understated in their behavior, there is no doubt they can influence the entire Avalon.

“Yes,” Aiwass nodded slowly, “He is absolutely reliable and loyal to you.

It’s not easy to appoint a Minister because one must step down for another to come up.

However, administrative officers are more easily appointed.

“First remember to dissolve the Privy Council from Queen Sofia’s time.

Keep only the Lord Privy Seal, then bring Mycroft in to discuss with Minister Camelot the new nominations for the Privy Council...

“Then Mycroft can hold onto his position as Chamberlain for now; let him handle both roles for a while.

After he finds a replacement later on, you can try moving him to Seal Minister.

Or you can retain the Chamberlain position for him.

”

Like the Minister of Care of Magical Creatures, the Seal Minister position has not been appointed by three Monarchs now.

Currently, the duty is undertaken by the Grand Justice.

As its name implies, the Seal Minister is the custodian of the national seal and is responsible for safeguarding the seal and drafting, signing, and issuing various important government documents and edicts.

“Ah, my liege...”

Watching Isabel silently listen to Aiwass’s directives in the bedroom, Ligeia leaned in the corner of the room and sighed.

It was only because Aiwass was trustworthy; otherwise, this scene would look rather odd.

And at that moment, a hand suddenly reached out from a painting behind her and gently tapped her shoulder.

When Ligeia looked back, the hand gestured for her to “come out.”

Understanding the signal, Ligeia quietly stepped out.
